Loaded the old white truck on the trailer and sent it down the road. Working on my second pot of coffee, need to go out and move some wood up to the house. It's a gloomy old day, getting a little misty sprinkle once in a while but no real rain yet.
 
I've always wanted to take a trip on a train, but never have. Unless you count the supper train down at Eureka Springs. But I don't count that. Interestingly, my Dad was a machine tool salesman and SanteFe was one of his customers. He sold a lot of equipment to work on trains with.
 
still in chain repair mode, fixed the chain that came off the 590 (looks like they trenched with it)
had to cut half of each tooth off, but i got it pretty good again, just got to do the rakers
 
the nuetered green stihl chain i fixed for the 024 works pretty good, killed better than an hour
sharpening/ grinding saftey bumpers off. I dont know what a 67dl stihl chain costs but I think I got this
much labor in this thing

Probably good therapy though. That's how I justify hand filing/grinding/sharpening/honing. I got a box of rocked chains and have slowly been working through filing them down. If I get in a mindless rhythm, its better relief than any therapist could give me. And they charge WAY more than a new chain costs, lol.

Cobey have you got your sermon ready for tomorrow and how do you prepare your material every week.
 
Took the lift down to the lake about a half hour away & dropped 3 standing dead oaks, 2 next to the house & one between the propane tank & shed. Then saw another 4 standing dead close by & dropped them as well. I get all the fire wood & owner is taking care off the rest. Took the lift home & came back with the tractor & loader to load the trunks & hunks. Told the owner I send her a bill later & she told me no need & handed me a blank check. That is trust!

Not a lot of wood, average size was around 24" at chest height but fairly easy. Again the lift sure is handy! A large bucket truck would probably be handier for tree work but not for working in buildings. Besides The price was right.

about done today.... I teach a book of the bible a little every other week and how to apply it daily. every other week i teach a different lesson something that people have asked or something that the Lord has shown me. wed. night is question and answer, but now i have the assc. pastor teaching a different set of lessons now :)
this is all WAY simplified but its kind hard to put in type ............. alot of other stuff happening too.
 
thanks for asking Jim :) some times its harder than others getting all my work done, my cell phone stays on 24 hours a day for my church, family, and friends :)
I appreciate the response Cobey, I was just curious as how you got prepared and keep up with all your other work and obligations.
